  • 0

I have connecting to my database in a JSF web application that I am trying to develop.
Using Windows 7, NetBeans 6.9.1, SQLServer 2008, Glassfish 3.3.

I am using the sqljdbc4.jar driver that I copied from my XP system where I have successfully connected to SQLServer 2005.

I have verified that SQLServer 2008 is running on my system and I can connect to the database through SQL Server Management Studio using the username and password that I am trying to use in the application. The SQL Server Configuration Manager shows the IP connection port is 1433. So I think my database is set up properly.

I think I am doing things correctly, but I just can’t connect to the database.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is failing and what I can check?

Thanks.

Here is my connection code:

public void connectDB()
{
    try
    {
        String connectionUrl = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=ROVRDEV;user=rovrdevuser;password=rovrdevuser";
        Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
        Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl);
        System.out.println("Database connection = "+con );
    }
    catch( Exception e )
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
        System.out.println( "Error connecting to database.  Error: "+e.getMessage() );
    }

}

When I attempt to run this, I get the following exception in the server log:

SEVERE: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The TCP/IP connection to the host localhost, port 1433 has failed. Error: "Connection refused: connect. Verify the connection properties, check that an instance of SQL Server is running on the host and accepting TCP/IP connections at the port, and that no firewall is blocking TCP connections to the port.".

    The TCP/IP connection to the host localhost, port 1433 has failed. Error: "Connection refused: connect. Verify the connection properties, check that an instance of SQL Server is running on the host and accepting TCP/IP connections at the port, and that no firewall is blocking TCP connections to the port.
    

    Check your SQL Server setting allow accept TCP/IP connections. Enable TCP/IP and restart SQL Server. Then test your code again.
